I decided to go with a high street solicitor for my conveyancing in Goddington today. Looking through the Terms and Conditions I noteI am responsible for charges even if the dealdoes not go ahead. Should I ditch them and use a web based lawyer promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Goddington?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be uplifted to neutralise the cases that do not go ahead.

About to purchase flat in Goddington. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Goddington lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.

I am attracted to a couple of flats in Goddington which have approximately fifty years remaining on the leases. Do I need to be concerned?
A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As the lease shortens the saleability of the lease decreases and it becomes more expensive to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is generally wise to increase the term of the lease. Sometimes it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage companies less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We recommend you seek professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this field.

I have read on various online forums that before selecting a conveyancing firm they must be approved by your lender. I am new to the process but I have an AIP from Nat West Bank and I already have a family conveyancing solicitor in Goddington lined up. Will Virgin Money need an approved solicitor to be instructed? Does a list of approved firms even exist for my conveyancing in Goddington?
You need to use a solicitor that is on the Virgin Money panel. Just call your chosen Goddington conveyancing solicitor and ask if they are on the Virgin Money panel. If they are not on the panel you have a couple of alternatives open to you here:
- Proceed with your preferred Goddington property lawyer but Virgin Money will no doubt use a property lawyer on their approved panel. The net result is additional fees together with probable delay.
- Appoint a fresh conveyancer to conduct the conveyancing, not forgetting to check that they are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
- Appeal to your conveyancing practitioner to attempt to join the lender panel.
